2 Safeguarding National Context Organisations including Local Authorities, adult/child protection teams, voluntary agencies, employers and service providers have a duty to safeguard and protect the welfare of children and adults. This includes reporting on the dismissal or resignation of any employees because they have harmed or may harm a child or vulnerable adult. A vulnerable adult refers to anyone aged 18 and over who: " is or may be in need of community care services by reason of mental or other disability, age or illness: and who is or may be unable to take care of him or herself, or unable to protect themselves against significant harm or serious exploitation". (Who Decides Lord Chancellors dept 1997) 2
3 This refers to all children or adults regardless of gender, ethnicity, disability, sexuality or religion. It is the duty of all employed by the organisation to follow it. It is the responsibility of all organisations to continually review and monitor their safeguarding policy and procedures, gaining further advice and information wherever possible. All workers should be aware of your policy and procedures in order to understand their individual responsibilities and help promote best practice 3
4 What is abuse Abuse can include one or more of the following: Neglect Neglect is failure to provide suitable care or attention to the point where someone s health is affected. Physical Abuse Physical abuse includes hitting, pinching, deliberately giving too much medication or physically restraining someone in an inappropriate way. Financial Abuse Financial abuse includes taking another person's money or possessions.

6 Reporting Alleged or Suspected Abuse Anyone who becomes concerned that alleged abuse is occurring is defined as an alerter. This will include all staff and volunteers, across all agencies, as well as service providers who come into contact with adults As an alerter you are not being asked to verify or prove that information is true. You are being asked to log your concerns and report them to the appropriate authorities. The Police have responsibility for establishing that a criminal offence has occurred 6
7 Concerns, allegations or disclosures of abuse must be reported through formal Lincolnshire County Council and Supporting People channels, no matter who the alleged perpetrator is. Every organisation will have its own procedure on discrimination, harassment and bullying Every organisation will have its own complaints procedure Some abuse will be a crime and the police will have to investigate Some organisations will be subject to registration and inspection, e.g. care homes providing nursing or personal care services The abused person may need support, alternative care arrangements or possibly legal representation All cases of alleged abuse involving Supporting People funded services users must be reported to the Lincolnshire Safeguarding team via the Lincolnshire County Council Customer Services Unit (CSU). The alerter must inform the CSU that the alleged victim is an SP service user It may be the Line Mangers responsibility to report the alleged abuse.
